How HVAC Coil Cleaning Can Save You Money While Saving the Planet

Here at Common Cents Energy Recovery, we are in the business of helping many companies in Denver and the rest of Colorado, as well as Wyoming, with their HVAC Coil Cleaning needs. While this helps to keep their businesses running in a clean and efficient manner, we are really doing so much more than that. HVAC Coil Cleaning translates to major energy savings, allowing us to really do our part in helping to save the world. 

There are many ways that Coil Cleaning saves energy, and keeps the environment cleaner. An article from Dynamic Air Corporation states that, “coil cleaning does save energy and it is worthwhile.” The article further goes on to state that, “Good maintenance practices, including coil cleaning, can significantly improve energy efficiency (by as much as 10% to 15%).”

In another article by Arista, the writer discusses how Cleaning HVAC System Condenser Coils equals lower energy bills. According to the article, “only 1/100th of an inch of dirt buildup on your air conditioner’s condenser coil reduces its efficiency by 5 percent.” This build-up could increase your electric bill by an upwards of 30% or more, and these inefficiencies have a direct impact on our planet. 

Why You Need HVAC Coil Cleaning:

  • Save Energy

Savings typically range from about 15% to 20%, depending on the unit.

  • Lower Emissions

A dirty coil can cause greenhouse gasses, which we know are bad for the environment and the planet. Lowering your emissions is a great way to help reduce your carbon footprint.

  • Improve Airflow

With nearly all the air in a building passing through these coils, they are repeatedly exposed to everything in that air. Even with good filtration, there can be a substantial buildup of dust particles, grease, and smoke.

  • Reduce “Hot” Calls

Fewer maintenance calls means lower operating costs and more comfortable building occupants.

  • Low Maintenance

Coil Cleaning helps to dramatically reduce your labor costs and downtime.

  • Defer Capital Costs

When airflow is managed regularly capacities improve, efficiencies improve and the need for new or updated cooling units may be deferred.

Putting environmentally conscious efforts and initiatives into place is an important part of business ethics. As a business owner, these are decisions that need to be made for the future of our families, our employees, and our business itself. Dirty HVAC Coils eat up resources and energy, and we provide a cost-effective service that allows building owners the opportunity to provide an energy-efficient building for their occupants. 

It’s a no-brainer that HVAC Coil Cleaning results in energy savings, but this service truly plays a vital role in saving the world. We only have one home and it’s Mother Earth, so we all need to be more mindful of the effect our carbon footprint is leaving. If you would like to do your part in helping the planet, reach out to CCER for your free assessment. We are the team to do your dirty work - that saves money, energy, and the environment.
